{ggplot2}* subject to change
{ggplot2} implements the Leland Wilkinson’s “grammar of graphics”. Wickham (2010) describes the grammar of graphics as:
“…a tool that enables us to concisely describe the components of a graphic. Such a grammar allows us to move beyond named graphics (e.g., the”scatterplot“) and gain insight into the deep structure that underlies statistical graphics.”
